World Kidney Day: A Global Call for a "Silent Organ"

World Kidney Day was established by the International Society of Nephrology and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations. Its core goal is to raise global awareness and attention to chronic kidney disease (CKD). The kidneys are the body’s "silent" purifiers; early damage often shows no obvious symptoms, leading many patients to be diagnosed only in the middle or advanced stages. Increasing awareness of early screening is key to combating this "silent killer".
